If you’ve been web-slinging through Monster Hunter Wilds and hit a wall trying to collect Monster Hunter Wilds Nerscylla Claws—don’t worry, you’re not alone. These spidery suckers are notoriously stingy when it comes to giving up their claws. But with the right strategy, you’ll be farming claws like it’s your new side hustle. Here’s how to find Monster Hunter Wilds Nerscylla, break those claws, and avoid getting wrapped up like a fly in a web.

So first thing’s first: let’s track down our eight-legged enemy. Nerscyllas spawn in three distinct regions:
Let’s talk tactics. Nerscyllas are weak to fire and thunder, which is perfect because those elements absolutely wreck. Equip weapons that tap into either of those to give yourself a big edge. Plus, fire against a spider just feels right.
Now to the real reason you’re here: How do you get those dang Nerscylla MH Wilds Claws? The Monster Hunter Wilds Nerscylla claws you want are not the big face pincers that sometimes poke out of its mouth. Nope, those are just there for dramatic flair. The actual claws you're looking for are the chunky ones sitting on the left side of its face—only the left claw drops a Nerscylla Claw. Here’s what you need to do:
That’s the jackpot. Hit it hard enough, and it’ll eventually snap off. BUT—and this is a big one—don’t just wail on the front. The front of the claw is solid rock and will block your damage. It’s basically a monster-grade shield. Instead, you want to…

Creep under Nerscylla and line yourself up so you’re facing its left side. From there, you can target the softer inner limb behind the claw’s hard surface. This part is vulnerable and can be wounded or broken—and you don’t even need to fully wound it to make the claw fall off. Just enough sustained damage to that inner section can do the trick.
Pro Tip: Fight in Area 4 of the Cliffs
If you can bait the Nerscylla into Area 4 of the Cliffs, you’ve got an edge. There’s webbing in the area that the monster can get stuck in, leaving it flailing its left claw up in the air—totally unprotected. That’s your moment. Channel your inner ninja and go ham.
Oddly enough, being underneath this giant spider is also one of the safest spots you can be. Most of its big attacks involve lunging forward, so as long as you’re dodging backwards or to the side, you’ll often stay out of the danger zone.
Even if you mess up and only manage to break off one claw during the fight, don’t stress. After taking down the Nerscylla, you still get a chance to carve its body—and you might get a second claw there. If not, you can at least turn that extra material into Armor Spheres, so nothing goes to waste.

Farming Nerscylla Claws in Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t exactly a walk in the park—but it is totally doable with the right plan. Play smart, position yourself well, and bring the heat (literally). With a little patience and a lot of stabbing, you’ll get those claws and craft some sick gear in no time.
Unfortunately, only the left claw drops a Nerscylla Claw. You can hit both for damage, but the right one won’t give you the material you're hunting for.
Weapons with precise targeting like Sword & Shield, Dual Blades, or Insect Glaive make it easier to aim for the soft underside of the claw. Add fire or thunder damage, and you're golden.
Technically no—you can sometimes get one by carving after the kill. But the best drop rate comes from breaking the left claw mid-fight.
